DEC 1 21980 MEMORANDU'4 FOR:

R. Silver Research & Standards Coordination Branch, DST FROM:

R. Bosnak, Chief Mechanical Engineering Branch, DE

SUBJECT:

STANDAR05 REVIEW REQUEST

Reference:

Memo from R. Bosnak to W. F. Anderson, " Standards Review Request - ANSI /AS'sE N45 ::551.2, Functional Qualification of Pumps for Active Safety Related Pump Assemblies for Nuclear Power Plants", dated May 30, 1978 The S'echanical Engineering Branch (f'ES), DE has reviewed the drafts of the folicwing proposed standards:

1.

ANSI M45 - N551-2, " Standard for Qualification of ASME Code Class 2 and 3 Pumps for Safety System Service", dated September, 1980.

2.

ANSI N45 - N551-5, "0ualification for Turbine Drives", dated September, 1980.

The MEB reviewed the January, 1978 draft of ANSI N45 - N551-2.and submitted coments to the Divisicn of Engineering Standards via the above referenced memorandum. A few of our coments were incorporated into the Septem::er,1980 draft.

In order to get this long awaited standard into use, we reco mend that it be approved. However, most of the general coments in the reference still apply. If the objective of this standard is to provide a document which an applicant can reference in a Safety Analysis Report as its complete program to demonstrate operability of active class 2 and 3 pumps, it will not be com-pletely acceptable for the following general reasons:

1.

To be acceptable as an FSAR reference, the proposed ANSI N45 - N551-2 must be consistent with the applicable criteria in Standard Review Plan 3.9.3 and Regulatory Guide 1.100.

2.

In Section 7.2.1 of the proposed ANSI 345 - N551-2, the Design Specification is referenced for loadings and loading combinations. Since the Design Specification is not normally included as a part of the routine review of an apolication for an Operating License, the required loadings and loading

. combinations should be contained in with ANSI M45 - N551.-l or N551-2.

If this information does not appear in either of these documents, we will centinue to require loadings and loading combinations for ASME class 2 and I

3 pumps to be specified in the FSAR's to assure both structural' integrity and operability.

8142 25 M i

l I

3.

A more detailed reivew.of the criteria for prototypes and verification is required. Our objective is to be as consistent as possbile between the subject standard and ASNI N278.2.4, "American National Standard for functional Qualification and Requirements of Power Operated / Safety Related Active Valve Assemblies for Nuclear Power Plants".

7. 0 VERIFICATION OF PROTOTYPE PUMP OESIGN Verification of prototype pump shall be performed by analyses, qualifica-l tion test,e T--n'.; +...uce.

For verification it is necessary to evaluate e

13

prototype pumps and previously qualified pumps to which changes have been made that make functional requalification necessary. The requirements for verifica-tion are presented below.

For clarity the seismic qualification requirements are explained separately from the functional pump requirements.

7.1 General The verification process is to assure functional qualification of the pump prototype and is performed by one or more acceptible methods as outlined below.

Each verification method used, and the results of the verification, shall be documented in a form that is readily retrievable.

The results of the verification shall be auditable against the verification requirements. The term " verification" as used throughout this Standard implies not only that an analysis, qualification test and experience is valid and correct, but also that the analysis, test and field experience is applicable to the prototype pump under consideration.

Where changes are made to a previously qualified pump, verification methods shall be applied to the changes in the same manner as for the original prototype, including evaluation of the effects of the changes on the overall pump.

Verification of the prototype pump may be performed by verification of all its component parts. Justification of this approach shall be provided by

(

evaluating the effects of interaction of the parts. Where this approach is used the evaluation of interaction shall be included in the documentation.

7.1. 2 Procedures The methods of prototype pump verification are:

a.

analyses; b.

qualification test; l

7. 2 Analyses The pump manufacturer shall determine the deformation Ifmits, which shall not be exceeded to maintain the operability of the pump.

The pump manufacturer shall provide the necessary allowable stress values and material properties for the n)ncode materials used and analyzed for parts which affect operability.

In addition, the pump manufacturer shall assure the operability of the pump during normal and abnormal conditions by complying with the requirements stated below.

i 7.2.1 Loadings and Loading Combinations The design specification shall identify all steady-state and cyclic loadinga mechanical, ths.' mal or hydraulic transients that may occur during the life of the plant and the number of the anticipated transients in each case, the external loads which may act on the pump and the combinations of l

these loads which may occur simultaneously. The pump manufacturer shall l

consider in the analysis all specified conditions under which the pump is expected to operate.

l 7.2.2 Rotor Dynamics and Natural Frecuencies Satisfactory performance of the assembled pump / driver unit shall be the responsibility of the pump manufacturer. Any additional data required for this purpose shall be furnished by the driver and/or gearbox manufacturer.

Vibration limits of the pump shaft, or bearing housing if the shaft is

not accessible, are specified in paragraph 6.5.3.

By supplying the purchaser with evidence that the proposed item has successfully passed through a comprehensive testing program. The testing program shall have included full-scale testing which meets or exceeds the specified design basis conditions. A detailed description of the tests, test equipment, and actual test results shall be submitted.

7.3.5 Failure During Pump Qualification Test If any part of the pump fails during a qualification test program, the pump supplier shall prepare a report of the details of the failure and submit it to the purchaser as part of the Data Package. The report shall describe the cause of the failure, circumstances of operation at the time of failure, corrective measures employed, and qualification by redesign and retest.

7.3.6 Oualification Report Description of the test program, test conditions and test results shall be included in the qualification report required by Section 11.

7. 4 Experience 7.4.1 Prototyoe '

A, prototype is the first of a type to qualify under this standard.

It i

I may be that it has been developed from a model or previous prototype which is similar in many ways, or actually identical to some features of the new machine. Where these are identical the previous field experience may be used '

as verification of the functional integrity of the' prototype.

f 7.4.2 Prototyoe Characteristics

,/

A prototype may qualify under this standard by experience related to the l

following characteristics. The experience must reflect an equal or more conservative set of qualifying values than will be required by the current specification.
